Well well well this series of sounds that i am beginning will be dedicated to video games or songs, this sound represents a pressing button for my newest and nearest projectyou are free to rebuild it, combine with others and use.
Some sound i accidentally made while recording something with my webcam mic. If i recall this was a sound i made after sipping some water. However, because of my webcam mic's lo-fidelity, it ended up sounding like a great menu accept sound for a game.
Two custom contact mics clipped to a moka pot whislt heated on a gas hob. The sound of the metal expanding can be clearly heard and the coffee flow sound is audible towards the end of the recording. Tascam dr-22wl, custom stereo contact microphones20-05-10_091458_dr-22wl_moka_coffee_contact. Wav.
A 3-inch folding pocket-knife opening and closing. Recorded very close to the microphone. Makes a snick/click sound. The sharp blade folds into a steel housing so the sound is metal on metal. Recorded: august 2014, with android voice recorder (mono), inside/evening in very quiet room. Noise reduction with audacity.
I took this sample from a phone message. I did use a live feed,(from the headset output on my phone, through a cable into my digital recorder. ) but it is very soft. When i tried recording with out the live feed, i couldn't even find the noise again. It could definitely use to be amped up a bit.
My friend's tv makes this weird boom bass sound everytime you turn it on. I recorded it and made a simple beat out of it! it'z the hip-hop television star! :d.
A 3kw electric fan heater switches on, runs for a few seconds, then gets switched off, thus demonstrating my mastery over small electrical appliances. Olympus ls-5, built-in mic capsules, no filtering.
Recording of my finger snap inside my living room. Recorded and processed at 24bit 96khz using the tascam dr-40 linear pcm recorder. Processing: gain-staging and soft high and low frequency filtering. No eq boost or cuts anywhere else. Also de-noised.
An old laptop making weird sounds. It freeze, typing on the keyboard, than crashes and reboots. The fan was broken at that point. Recorded with an iphone 5c.
This is a lego clicking that i got from hoscalegeek and i shortened it incase someone wants a different version. Here is the original: http://www. Freesound. Org/people/hoscalegeek/sounds/166722/.
Recorded inside a closet. Low noise, not much reverb. Sounds almost machine-like with a satisfying thump. Recorded on a phone. I messed around with it to get it to sound nice. In case you do something that mixes the channels: on the opening part i copied a 5khz to 8. 5khz band from the left to the right channel, so that frequency band is mono.
I was looking for the sound of a hot engine clicking and found just one with lots of background noises. So i decided to build it from scratch in bitwig studio and this is it. The sound starts with fast clicking slowing down. It's not perfect, you can still hear it's made from samples. But as the sound is normally used at low volume, i think i can get away with it. Feel free to add a gate and shape it even further. I may upload an updated version later.
Inserting, reading, launching a program, and ejecting a dvd-r in a usb disc drive (repackaged "hp dvdram gu90n" laptop drive) with the occasional rumble of a 2tb 7200rpm internal hard drive (in an enclosure) and mouse clicks. Computer fan may be audible in background. Contains seek noises. Recorded on blue yeti in omnidirectional mode and denoised in rx 8 (drive whine re-enhanced though as noise removal made it quieter). Labels added to audio in fl studio edison.
Recorded and processed at 24bit 48khz using the tascam dr-40 linear pcm recorder. Processing: gain-staging and soft high and low frequency filtering. No eq boost or cuts anywhere else. Also de-noised.
This sound is 50 ms, 2000 hz pure tone with double linear fadeout through it's whole length. Sampling rate of 8 khz is already an overkill (nyquist frequency is at 4 khz, while all energy of this sound is present in narrow 2 khz frequency range). Created with audacity for use with ardour 3, a free and opensource daw for linux and mac (http://ardour. Org).
Recorded in a controlled studio environment with a sennheiser mkh 416 shotgun microphone into a universal audio la-610 mk ii pre-amp through ssl converters. 48000 khz 32-bit float. Recorded by benni knop, sound designer & re-recording mixer for dream vault studios. Http://dreamvaultstudios. Comhttp://benniknop. Com.
Opening a zippo lighter, lighting it, and closing the lid. Separated into separate actions, removed a low-frequency rumble from some of the sounds. Recorded in a small shed, zoom h2.
Foley recording of a goose-neck reading lamp lamp (you can bend it into any position and it will stay that way) mounted to a bed in a hotel room. Features a lot of groaning, clicking, bending, stretching, etc. Could be used for rope torsion sfx, pitched down for metal stress / strain / fatigue, clicking elements could be used for creature sounds.
